Heyo everybody - this is the long overdue first installment of the Smalltown DJs Eurotour blog. So to summarize the tour so far: they are Euros, and they are dancing.

The people have been so awesome in every city. We started in Paris.

We played the Beat and Juice party for Antoine. It was a great way to kick it off, the club was called Casino Noveau and it looked great. The dudes Almost and Moody Mike were also on the bill.

The Parisians were mad cool, except we were only in the city for a few hours. We never even saw the Eiffel Tower, oh well. So then it was over to jolly old England, where we were staying with our good mate Ali B and his flatmate Dre. They are the best mates a mate could have. Ali lives in a clocktower, and so to quote Skeewiff: "He really knows what time it is":

Saturday we played Ali's night at a place called Paradise. All soul, funk and disco gems. It was the funnest night we've done in a while. Great club and great crowd, and to top it off, DJ Eleven was in town and came down to hang out and consume pints and party. It was a total blast.

Joanna Majeriisicieivinski then joined up with us in London. Thats why the pics get good from here on. She is a skilled photographer and awesome travelmate.

This is one she took of some super nerdy Canadian dudes:

And one of Mike in Brighton:

We did some sightseeing and touring around London, also filmed part of our new travel show for the travel show network:

Then that weekend we were booked to play Fabric, its a legendary club and it was so great to play there for the first time:

We did the night with Fuzzbox, Ali B and A Skillz. They killed it. The club was so dope inside and out - and really lived up to it's reputation. We had to bang it out a bit cause there was major drum & bass dudes playing the other rooms, but that suited us just fine.

Also Maya showed up to hang out, as well as a bunch of Calgarians who live in London. It was so great to see everybody jamming in London.

As Ali would say: "Result"

Saturday we hopped on a plane for Copehagen, then drove to Malmo, Sweden.

We played The Rumble (for the man Sweet Fred) which is like this legendary jam, they love to go crazy to all styles of music, it was deadly.

The styles were bonkers there

The party was so fun, we played a bunch of club, house, electro and some rap.

Once again: "Such a result"

ALso on the bill were these dudes from Buenos Aires Argentina called Zizek Soundsystem, try to check them out their stuff was great.

Then on the way back to London we saw proof that different species can live together in harmony:
